Video Game Replacement Button (s)s for Nintendo Switch

Save Money With Nintendo Switch Replacement Buttons

The most-used parts of a Nintendo Switch gaming system are the controllers, called joy cons, meaning that the buttons on these devices will eventually wear out and no longer work properly. When this occurs, it is possible to replace the buttons, saving money on purchasing a new controller. Any of the joy con buttons can be repaired using the correct type of button for each specific function.

It is not necessary to take your joy con controllers to an electronics repair shop to have faulty buttons replaced. You can purchase replacement buttons and install them yourself easily and inexpensively. You will need to make sure that you are purchasing items that are compatible with your Nintendo Switch model and that you have the necessary tools for the job. Many replacement buttons come complete with the necessary tools, particularly if they are purchased in full sets.

Determine which of the button(s) on your controller(s) have stopped working properly. The joy con replacement buttons can be purchased individually or in bulk which can be convenient and cost-effective for serious gamers who find themselves needing to replace buttons frequently. Give consideration to the amount of use your Nintendo Switch gets and then decide whether to buy as the need arises or keep extras on hand.

Any of the buttons on your joy con controllers can be replaced. This includes the custom buttons on the Switch Pro controller as well as those on the standard models and the Nintendo Switch Lite, although some buttons may not be compatible with all models. It is important to note that the A, B, X, and Y buttons that feature laser-etched letters may work with all Switch model controllers with the exception of the Nintendo Switch Lite joy cons. There are specific types of buttons that are interchangeable with the systems as well. The Gamecube-themed D-pad (arrow) button, as well as the A, B, X, and Y buttons, are designed to work with all standard joy con controllers. This is also true of the purple-themed buttons for these functions. Again, the Nintendo Switch Lite may be an exception. Always verify compatibility to ensure that you are buying the correct product for your system.
